Neddy Seagoon posted:Localized lockdowns never worked, and there's a reason why everywhere that isn't NSW shuts down the entire state; The fuckwits will go wherever the lockdowns aren't. If you shut down the entire state, all they can do is sit at home and grumble about it, which is what you want to happen. not to be contrarian, but the northern beaches lockdown seemed to work pretty ok

Neddy Seagoon posted:there is a legitimate tipping point between "we want businesses open to make money" and "COVID's costing us money" and NSW is surely well on the way to the latter. It's why the Republicans in the US are starting to push for vaccines; Oops, all infected and nobody can/will work. Hey if politicans actually thought like that, good, wrestling with that poo poo is important. Honest debate. Finding the pulse of the nation. Anvil of truth. Weighing up the pigs and truffles. But let's not guild this turd, they're on the continuum of "everything will go to poo poo after my term, let it ride" and "everything will go to poo poo during my term, and i have no exit strategy". Almost anyone with power, whether that's political, organisational or financial seems to immediately set fire to their lifeboat in the hopes that they will be rescued before they drown. They're greedy idiots who utterly refuse to even think of their own interests beyond the very shortest of short terms and I'm kind of losing my patience with this insane horde of villains who can't even villain right.

Two more dead from the AZ vaccine, aged 44 and 48, thanks to ScoMo. (Absolutely get vaccinated however you can, but this is squarely his fault for trying to jam that square peg into a round space repeatedly instead of getting more Pfizer and Moderna.) chaosbreather posted:Hey if politicans actually thought like that, good, wrestling with that poo poo is important.

Oh absolutely, it's that with COVID it seems there's a point where there's no way they can dig except up; They can't ignore COVID, they can't litigate around it, they can't bribe it, they can't gaslight it (and they've certainly tried all four, because it's their only go-to's). The only way through for them is to get their peasants vaccinated and masked-up so they can get back to toiling properly. Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Jul 22, 2021 |

Kinda glad I'm booked in for the first round of the covid vax tomorrow but at the same time I feel poo poo for the rest of the under 40's crew who can only access AZ at this point in time. Doubly so that if your're unlucky enough to die from it scomo will blame you for making that choice.

Any brisvegans have recommendations for where to find out about the live music scene here (if) when it resumes? Finding myself with time on my hands and would like to get back into gigs but don't even know where to start. Do venues advertise or are there any promoters websites or the likes where I can find what's on?

Lolie posted:And now we have a cluster in a disability home. It may be multiple homes. Most day programs have been shut down since the lockdown started. One of my guys goes to one that has refused to close. I just came up with "valid" excuses for him not to go. It turns out putting a bunch of disabled people who may not be able or willing to wear masks in a room for 6 hours a day was a really loving stupid idea. Now the day program has a positive case and every house that sent clients in had to send all their staff home as close contacts until results come back. I'm horrified what may happen, but also pretty loving chuffed that I made the right call and my guys are safe.

Now the day program has a positive case and every house that sent clients in had to send all their staff home as close contacts until results come back. It is multiple homes. The residents live in a number of homes in the complex and the staff work across all of those homes, so it will affect all of them. Residents have only had one dose of vaccine to date. Currently all of the residents and staff of all of the homes are in iso. The homes are currently being run by Health.

The mob of magpies I feed leftovers to have sentry shifts now where there's always one around to alert the others when food goes out. Guess slightly mouldy soup, carrot ends, and day old cat food is gourmet grub to magpies. I feel good about the cat food too, so much better than it going into the bin when the gravy was licked off.

WA dude flies over to ACT to give Josh Frydenberg a flogging (fair enough) and walks into parliament house and tells the security he was there to assault the Treasurer and "won't be leaving Canberra until the job is done" but is absolutely shocked when he gets arrested and held without bail. quote:Chief Magistrate Walker refused him bail, and also refused to accept his guilty pleas.

Finding myself with time on my hands and would like to get back into gigs but don't even know where to start. 4zzzfm (102.1) is pretty good for finding out about gigs. Just pick up whatever shows cover the genres you like and you'll do ok. Doesn't cover everything but generally speaking its a good place to start. The online gig guides are mostly trash, in my experience as someone who moved back here this year with nfi what the scene was like. If anyone is going to the reclink cup on Sunday keep an eye out for me i'm on the cheerleading squad for the Rocking Horses
